معرفی
Nadja Sennewald is Professor of Creative Writing and Copywriting at SRH University's Berlin School of Popular Arts since 2018, with expertise spanning writing studies, gender analysis, and academic literacy development. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges creative practice with scholarly research in higher education contexts.
Her academic journey includes a Habilitation in German literature and language (2019), PhD from Goethe University Frankfurt am Main (2007) on gender in science fiction TV series, and Diploma in Cultural Studies from University of Hildesheim (1999). Prior to academia, she worked as freelance writer and cultural manager (2000-2009).
Sennewald's research centers on writing processes, academic literacy development, and gender representation in media. She pioneered studies on writing center utilization and student writing competencies, while her early work analyzed gender politics in science fiction. Current focus includes cognitive aspects of writing strategies and institutional frameworks for writing development in universities.
Her publications reveal an evolution from gender/media studies toward establishing writing studies as a distinct discipline. Recent work emphasizes writing strategy typologies, cognitive processes in writing, and integrated support systems across academic contexts - reflecting growing recognition of writing as a core scholarly competency.
As Management Committee Member of EU COST Action 15221 (WeReLaTe), she drives initiatives creating synergy between teaching, learning, research and writing development. Her prior role as Writing Center Director at Goethe University (2012-2018) featured innovative programs like Writing Fellows for discipline-specific writing support.
